How To Choose a Gutter Installer
Research potential gutter installers in great depth first, so you don't end up with poor work or an overinflated bill. When analyzing gutter installation companies, look for:
Assess Their Experience
When looking for gutter installation, for the best results, you should select a local company that's served your area for many years, ideally decades. A company’s expertise on the area's weather, climate, and popular home styles helps it evaluate your needs and get you the best gutters for your home. These well-established providers employ time-tested methods to ensure safe, effective gutter installation.
Verify Proper Licensing and Insurance
Before signing a contract, verify that the company has the right qualifications. Request to see licensing, bonding, and insurance documentation upfront. Proper certification tells you that the company operates above board and helps protect you from issues if an injury or property damage occurs during the project.
Check Reviews and Referrals
Spend time looking through online reviews on sites such as the Better Business Bureau, Google, and Yelp to confirm that the company has a proven track record of providing high-quality work and good customer service. Look for long-term satisfied customers to understand the company's overall reliability. Notice any red flags, such as unresolved complaints or unfinished jobs. All our recommended providers have a high number of reviews with a good average rating.
Choose Reputable Brands
Pick a gutter professional who's a certified installer through the manufacturer. These businesses that are formally trained are trained to install gutters per the manufacturer's specifications to get the best results.
Examine Warranties
You should only pick companies that offer solid manufacturer warranties on materials, plus their own installation guarantees. Look for 5-10 year warranties on basic aluminum gutters and 1-3 years of labor coverage.
Gutter Installation Materials
Look for resilient materials – such as heavy-gauge aluminum – that won't easily warp, decay, or rust as time passes. Materials that can handle Prescott’s local weather are best. Also check that paints and finishes have an equally long lifespan.
Questions to Ask
To properly evaluate gutter installation providers, you'll need to take the time to ask thorough questions such as these:
- Will you provide a detailed quote for both full gutter replacement and problem area fixes? Get written estimates from providers, so you know exactly what the total cost of gutter installation will be before the project starts.
- Are you also able to install gutter guards? Gutter guards help prevent clogs that occur due to leaves and other falling debris.
- What are the specific warranty details for labor and materials? High-quality materials are typically backed by 5–10 year warranties. Labor is usually back by a 1-3 year warranty.
- How long is the full installation? Most companies are typically able to finish a gutter installation project in around one day's time.
- How will you make sure that the new gutters have the right slope and pitch to prevent standing water? Correct slope and pitch significantly diminish overflow risk. Your gutter installation specialist should know how to properly align a gutter system with your roof.
- How do you guarantee a smooth integration with my existing roofing? Look for steps such as underlayment replacement.
- What materials are best for my gutters based on my specific home style and the local weather conditions? Consider the pros and cons of each gutter material, taking into account important factors such as Prescott's expected annual rainfall and the weight and volume of the gutters.
Putting in the effort to do your research before deciding on a company will help you choose the best gutter installer for your home. Upgrading to new gutters now helps avoid more expensive water and structural damage later on.
